180 5th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11217
The 4-story, 7-unit tenement building at 180 5th Avenue in Park Slope, owned by Edward Vays and constructed in 1921, has experienced recurring maintenance issues over recent years. Most notably, there have been consistent heat and hot water problems, with emergency complaints filed in December 2022 and March 2024, though these were reportedly resolved promptly.
The building has also faced pest challenges, with the most recent complaint in December 2024 regarding unsanitary conditions and pests, though HPD inspectors were unable to gain access for verification. A significant cluster of violations was documented in January 2023 for apartment 6, including issues with smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, hot water provision, door functionality, and a mouse infestation, though most of these were subsequently addressed.
While the property has maintained compliance in recent bedbug reporting periods from 2021 through 2025, showing zero infested units, and has passed multiple rodent inspections between 2018 and 2023, the building's history shows persistent concerns with basic building systems and periodic pest issues. Three separate food establishment complaints were filed between 2018-2024 that required Department of Health intervention, though specific outcomes of these inspections are not detailed in the records. The most recent bedbug report filing in April 2025 indicates no current infestations, maintaining the trend from previous years.
